Subject: [PATCH 1/5] of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinux

From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@...il.com>

This patch adds support for linking device tree blobs into
vmlinux. Modifies asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to add linking
.dtb.init.rodata sections into the .init.data section of the vmlinux
image. Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to
compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to
wrap the blobs for linking.

The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob
with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob
to get the structure alignment GCC expects.

A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to
be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using
   obj-y += foo.dtb.o
